For information, ideas, and another entry into the various giveaways here I ask the following question:

How would you move the following tanks and/or inhabitants across the country? (Baltimore, MD to Bellingham, WA)

5 foot 100g gallon

Keep the rock and plants in buckets with lids wet and sell or donate the rest of the livestock.
Tanks? Stands? I would move them dry or sell them and buy new l, preferably the latter. They are bulky and easily damaged.

If don’t have the energy to care for the livestock in the back of the station wagon and then rush to set up the tanks when I finally get to the destination, where I would be weary from traveling with the wife wanting to stop every 159 miles for coffee or convenience or lunch or…

Easy route is to start new after getting everything else settled in

tough pill to swallow, getting rid of the livestock.

I will likely buy new tanks on the other end. but was puzzling next day air for the livestock.

Hate to say it, but I'm in agreement with starting over. You're going to be EXTREMELY busy over the coming weeks/months. And there's probably going to be some prep work you need to do at the new house prior to setting things back up.
